1 WMO Climate Monitoring Activities Omar Baddour Data Management Applications Division Observing and Information System Department

2 CONTENT 1. Brief introduction on WCP and WCSP 2. Purpose of WMO Climate Monitoring activities 3. New initiatives 4. Challenges and Recommendations

3 World Climate Programme new Structure Congress 16 Resolution 18

4 Purpose of the WMO Climate Monitoring 1. Provide a platform for collaboration for developing data sets for monitoring the climate system and assessing Climate change 2. Promote using best practices for addressing Climate Metadata, QC, and Homogenisation of the data 3. Promote the development and use of global and regional infrastructure to help National Meteorological Services in producing climate information, climate reports and climate advisories for their users 4. Training and Capacity Buildling; in Data Rescue, Data Management, Climate Watch, Climate indices, etc 5. Develop showcases on Global and Regional Climate reports

5 1. Platform for collaboration on Data sets 1.Facilitate the provision and exchange of monthly Data sets such as CLIMAT reports. 1.Coordination of the submission of World Weather Records on annual basis 2.Guidance on producing Climate indices suitable for assessing climate change nationally and globally (ETCCDI) 3.Foster collaboration amongst Global Data centres and National Meteorological Sevices for filling data gaps in the historical records ( Data Rescue)

6 Guidelines on submission of WWRs

7 2. Use of best Practices, QC, HOM, Indices 1.Expert Team on Climate Data Management 2.Task Team on Data Homogenisation 3.Joint CCl/Clivar/JCOMM Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices, 27 indices based on RR and T*, RCLIMDEX RH Test. 4.Support Regional initiatives on Data Rescue and homogenisation (MEDARE, INDARE) 5.Guidelines on Metadata and Data Homogenisation (WCDMP No.53)

8 3. Infrastrcuture: Regional Climate Centre RCCs are formally designated by WMO to achieve certain climate functions and products, i.e Climate data Climate diagnostics and climate predictions NEAC C BCC TCC Designated RCCs Designated RCC-Networks CIIFE N RCCs in Demonstration Phase RCC-Networks in Demonstration Phase RCCs Proposed RCC-Networks Proposed ACMA D ICPA C SADC- CSC

9 Capacity Development Data Rescue and QC, Homomogenisation and Climate Change indices and Data Rescue (DARE) is an integral part of the World Climate Services Program with a long term goal of rescuing and digitizing climate records. A focus is made on those records at risk of loss. DARE enables climate science and climate services by making readily available long and high quality climate datasets needed for: Progressing science Climate variability and climate change assessment, Modeling, Calibration of Satellite data Sector Applications and Risk Management Agriculture, Water Resources, Energy, Insurance Disaster Risk Reduction Climate Early Warning

10 Climate Indices Guided by CCl/WCRP-Clivar/JCOMM Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices 27 climate indices have been developed and being used for analyzing climate extremes related to temperature and precipitations These workshops are designed to address the specific needs in climate change detection and indices, provide training to national experts. Size varies according the regions from 10 to 20 Participants 4 to 5 days: A combination of seminars and hands-on data analysis. These workshops resulted usually in a scientific paper in the peer-reviewed journal, like International Journal of Climatology of the Royal Meteorological Society

12 Climate Indices Example from Casablanca workshop

13 Promote Climate Monitoring Show cases at Global and Regional levels

14 New Initiatives: Climate Data Management Specifications Commission fior Climatology ET-CDMS

15 New Initiatives: International Data Rescue Portal (I-DARE) Commission fior Climatology ET-Data Rescue Single entry portal to data rescue worldwide - Inventory of to-be-rescued and rescued data - Stimulation of best practices and knowlegde sharing - Promotion of applications using rescued data - Stimulation of new data rescue projects - Converge contents of new and existing DARE WebSites - Avoid duplication of data rescue activities - An information gate for donors - Promote citizen science to enhance DARE activities A white paper on I-DARE (endorsed by CCl-16) can be found at: f

16 Climate Statement on the Status of Climate in Africa, Annual basis WMO-ACMAD-Regional Association for Africa

17 Challenges Data availability and data quality Inconsistency in producing national climate reports Difficulties in monitoring climate with regularity in the regions, i.e Africa, South America, South Asia. No regional homogenized data sets A large need for enhacing capacity in Developing and least developped countries and lack of sufficient resources

18 Recommendations Develop conherent and consistent methodology for submission on national climate monitoring products ( Commission for Climatology) Work on Regional homogenized climate data sets Develop simple tools and software that can be used by NMHSs in producing regular and timely monitoring bulletins at national level Promote internet web Platform to share and make use of global data for producing climate information in easy manner. Guide Countries and RCCs in providing additional background information, i.e reference period and uncertainty estimates Foster partnership and collaboration to meet the large need in capacity development; training, Software, workshops,etc.
